Shopping app that can locate stores

[blugrss4ever]

Hi,
I tried searching for this but haven't been successful. I'm looking for a basic app that will tell me what stores are in my immediate location/area if I type in the name. For example, if I'm dying for a cup of coffee and search for Starbucks, it would map out the nearest starbucks stores and I could pick one and maybe head for it with navigation. I have been using Maps but think it's too nonspecific -- if I type Starbucks it will list all stores in the country; if I type in the nearest city it will give me a list of stores but not do it visually on a map. Apologies if this is too basic a question. Today I was driving around in a county not too close to home, and needed a party supply store, but couldn't find one using my phone. I searched "party store" after mapping my location, and it came up with a list of motels/Comfort Inns about 20 miles away. Any tips would be appreciated!

Google Maps does this.

Also, with the recent update of Google Maps, there is an App called "Places" which will do just this.

Should be moved to:
Android Applications - Android Forums

Im going to move this to the applications forum so it can get more attention.

It's it's own app, but it installs when you install the Google maps update.

Duh! *sheepishly puts DX back into pocket* OK - I found Places in my app drawer and it's what I was looking for. Thank you!!
